Charter school policy

Charter school policy refers to the rules and regulations governing publicly funded but independently operated schools known as charter schools. These schools are granted a charter or contract that allows them to operate with more flexibility in curriculum, staffing, and budget management, aiming to foster innovation and improve student outcomes. Policies establish how charter schools are approved, monitored, and held accountable, ensuring they meet certain educational standards while offering alternatives to traditional public schools. Overall, the policy balances flexibility for innovation with accountability to public education goals.
